Check out the Federal Highways Admin website. They have all types of engineering manuals on the design of ditches etc... Here are some of the manuals: HEC 11, 14, 15, 18 & 20. For small ditches and channels (Q<50cfs) use HEC15 it is a great reference and uses stable channel design based on different types of materials ranging from nonprotected to concrete lining.
